WEDDING JITTERS

I know what you're thinking: June is the classic month for weddings. Why am I writing about them in July?

Well, marriages don't always go quite as scheduled. The bride turns out to have been married before... and never quite got around to the divorce. The groom gets cold feet and breaks it off at the last moment (by text message. At the altar.). A well-meaning mobster sends a far-too-sexy hit man to keep a protective eye on the bride. The fiance fakes his own death to get out of marrying a bridezilla. One's betrothed pretends to elope with a completely fictional lover the day after the engagement.

Alright, perhaps these aren't the usual reasons a wedding doesn't come off as planned, but they make for some very entertaining beach reads. Be warned: for the would-be brides (and grooms) in these romances, there may not be a happily-ever-after in the offing... at least, not with the mates they expected!
